1Password recognized in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management

1Password Privileged Access was named an Honorable Mention in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management. 1Password Privileged Access eliminates standing access for human and non-human identities across cloud and hybrid environments, databases, and Kubernetes. It provides just-in-time, just-enough privileges created at request time, scoped to the task, and automatically deprovisioned when the work is done. This secures production infrastructure and sensitive data for every identity and resource. We feel this honorable mention in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management reflects the recognition that privilege should be created for the task at hand and removed when the work is done. Why standing access persists Standing access emerges as a byproduct of daily operations. What begins as a quick fix to remediate a bug or launch an AI agent often leaves a long tail of access risk and manual cleanup. Today, every engineer, service account, and AI agent in your environment carries more access than needed, and each permission is an opportunity attackers can exploit. Consider a team that brings on a contractor for a three-month project and grants access across its cloud environment, K8s cluster, and database. When the engagement ends, the access remains because removing it requires checking several systems and confirming nothing else depends on the account. Permissions granted for legitimate work outlive the work that justified them. Across the infrastructure, an organization may manage an AWS role, a K8s RBAC binding, and a database account through separate tools with no shared policy layer. Each new system adds another inventory to maintain. When the project ends, the contractor leaves, or a workload changes, teams must manually
